I'm losing it. How did you cope? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

FR-Shadow · 01-08-2013, 10:50 AM

So not sure why its so long of a wait for everyone. I went to the dealer and they didnt have the color/tranny I wanted --they had like 5 other FRSs just none i wanted. So they contacted another dealer and it was sent on a flatbed to my dealer and only had 3 miles on it. I waited less then a week. Dont other delaers do the same...look else where to have one sent to them?

Well they do dealer trades when they can, though I am sure they would rather sel their own stock. FRS spends 15 days on the lot average in the US at least, so they are one of the hardest to get vehicles in the US at the moment. I specified I wanted delivery at the end of March because I didn't want to take delivery of my first new car in the winter.

In Australia there is a huge waiting list atm, they dont even have many in the dealership, I was looking to test a Auto GTS to try the leavers but could only find the basic 86 in Auto. Subaru have stopped taking pre orders.

FRSFirestorm · 01-08-2013, 11:07 AM

No way I could wait 8 months. I'm sure its different in Australia but I just stayed in contact with local dealers in my area and when the color I wanted showed up at one I went and got it.

Also remember this guy is from australia, toyota has been having a rough times with allocations for the country so their delivery dates are jacked compared to is US owners.

Back on topic. You can press the start button now actually.....for about 800MS points for the dlc

Kyubi · 01-08-2013, 11:22 AM

Someone needs to record themselves pressing the start button.

It will please me in many ways >.> XD

Unfortunately when none of the dealers around here even have a single one it doesn't work so well.

I ordered mine November 11th and it arrived last Friday and I signed everything yesterday. Today I take her home!

Drive her hard for me! Who cares about the 1000km/mile break in! (Jks Jks Look after her :P)

Hey Kyubi. Most of us have driven their cars in the past 6 hours... What have you done?

Kyubi · 01-08-2013, 12:20 PM

Wanked to the picture of you driving your car..

But really just drove a less superior car :/

I know of several other on this and other forums that have done the same thing. You may risk your deposit, but again, myself and many others have ended up getting our deposit back.

Good luck mate and if you don't find one sooner think of all that cash you can save for the mods.

This. I drove about 250 miles to get mine but I got it in 3 weeks of looking instead of 8 months of waiting. I got my deposit back as well.
I recommend calling dealerships in your area till you find someone that had a deal fall through. They are usually overjoyed to sell it to you instead. Just make sure there are a couple of color options that you like because it is hard to find your first choice.

Good luck! I hope you find one and love it as much as I love mine.

Wow that really sucks...I guess I just got lucky the dealer I went to is the largest in the state so they have quite a few FRS's.

And congrats...now lets talk about something even more unbearable...the 1000mile break in period shifting only at 4k max lol.

Even more bad news! haha

naikaidriver · 01-08-2013, 01:48 PM

this is unusual... I'm sitting in the service waiting area and this dealer has two FRS's on the floor right now. One auto and one 6spd. Both fully loaded.
